by

When you begin playing Soulframe for the first time, you may find it puzzling as one of your initial tasks is to pick a Pact. Since you might not understand what this choice entails, it could seem peculiar. However, don’t worry, we’ll clarify everything you need to know about making this decision.

Which Pact should you pick at the start of Soulframe?

In the game, it’s essential to understand the roles of Grace, Spirit, and Courage, and this guide will help you explore their abilities further. To make things easier, choose Spirit for a more magical playstyle, opt for Courage if you prefer close-combat, and select Grace if you’re interested in experimenting with a Rogue-like approach.

In each Covenant, you’ll gain entry to certain skills, a skill tree, a weapon, and a totem. Throughout your gaming experience, you’ll have the chance to unlock all other Covenants. Therefore, there’s no need to stress about missing out on anything.

I personally think the Alca’s Children Pact is the best option for beginners. It offers a balance between combat and survival, making it easier for new players to handle. The range advantage in combat softens the learning curve of melee, while the healing ability is particularly helpful during the early stages of gameplay.
